adjective (na)
personnel-related; human (resource); pertaining to people
1. human; personnel-related; pertaining to people
Describes something that relates to people as a resource, casualty group, or factor — most often used in news, business, and policy contexts. Typically modifies a following noun as 人的(じんてき)＋noun.

Combines 人(じん) (person) + 的(てき) (-related), forming a productive な-adjective common in formal writing. Almost always used to modify a following noun rather than as a predicate.
